Why didn’t Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce attend this year’s Met Gala?

Did anyone else even remember that there was speculation about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce attending this year’s Met Gala? Travis has never attended a Met Gala – Taylor hasn’t attended a gala since 2016, the start of a particularly wild Tiddle-summer. It seems absurd to think that Taylor and Travis would attend this year’s Met Gala. Given Taylor’s disappearing act for the past three months, it’s even wilder to think that she would pop up at the biggest night in fashion. And yet, both TMZ and People Magazine ran pieces about why Taylor and Travis didn’t go to the gala.

The most famous couple in the world is NOT at the Met Gala … but it’s not because they didn’t get invited.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ … Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were invited to Monday’s Met Gala in New York City, but they could not make it work as a result of their schedules.

Taylor knows what she’s missing out on, but Travis doesn’t. She was last at the Met Gala in 2016, when she was a co-chair … that year, the theme was “Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology.” Travis has never been to the event.

Fans have been dying to see Taylor and Travis in public … but it won’t happen at the Met … and the last time they’ve been spotted together was back on March 14, when they ventured out in the Big Apple to break bread at Del Frisco’s Grille.

People Mag just backed up TMZ’s reporting and reiterated that their Swift/Kelce sources insist that all is well in Traylorville: “They have been traveling nonstop and very much enjoy it. They are making the most of their time off together. They are hanging out with friends, too. It’s a special time for them.” To be clear, Travis has been seen and photographed. He’s been doing his New Heights podcast, he’s been posting on Instagram (or rather, his team has been posting), he’s been hanging out with friends in Las Vegas and more. Taylor is thoroughly underground, in her Incognito Era. Is something up? Is there something else going on? I really don’t know. But I wasn’t surprised that they didn’t go to the gala.
